~Reflections~

With my 22nd birthday just around the corner, i decided to do some reflections on my 21st year on planet Earth. July 2007..i was in India..enjoying my holidays. I went to India for a reason, a reason i cant write down here but all i can say....i got the answers to the questions i had in my mind. I spent my 21st birthday not with a big bang, as i was hoping for, but with a few very special, dear friends. Overall i came back a happy person.Once i was back, it was back to the routine of lectures, tutorials, tests and exams. But this time, i really enjoyed the sem, as i got to enjoy with my uni buddies...and the work load wasn't too bad. I had a good time doing tutorials after classes, and then i headed down to meet Charu n Param at PS to have our Thai express food.

The 2nd half of the year is always more enjoyable as there are more festivals to prepare for. First came Ganesh Chaturti and then Diwali. I had a good time dressing up and going for functions. I had called over some of my Uni frens for diwali at my place. And then there was Charu's diwali party that is always a hit. Last yr it was Sheetal's first Diwali after marriage as well, so we were all geared up for tt too.

Following Diwali, came a very bad time. Dad started experiencing horrible pains in his back and shoulder and he had to seek medical attention immediately. Thank god it wasnt anything serious. Then my family was stunned by my Mami's passing away. It was a tragic period, especially for my mom and grandmom. I really felt sorry for my 10 yr old cousin who is now left to grow without her mom's love and affection. This made me realise how important my mom is in my life....she IS my life.=)

Soon exams were out of the picture, and December vacations came. Most of it was spent slacking, planning our Genting trip and gymingAnd then came Genting. One of the best holidays i have ever had til now. The company was jus superb. We had soooo much of fun.(No words can really do justice to the time we had there) I really hope we can do such a thing again.

After the hols i was refreshed to start my industrial attachment. Hehe i have written enough about it so wont say more. But during this period, we celebrated CYN(chinatown outing with Param), Param's 22nd, Charu 22nd, Vday (my 20th Vday w/o a Valentines), met some special frens and did lots of masti overall. Made some mistakes, learnt from it.
Got scared by some random stalker on April fool's day and then realised it was no joke.
Was really flattered by some events that occurred. It made me feel good about myself for a while.=)

To sum it all, last yr has been a roller coaster, but the ride was very enjoyable. I hated some parts but loved most of it. I don't think i can ask for anything more from God this year. I do have a few requests for him though.

Help me find what i am searching for.Keep my family and frens happy and safe. Keep me smiling. Show me the right path. =)
